Nissan Note (06 on) - Review Review by David Ross on 08 February 2006 Last Updated: 23 February 2011 The Nissan Note gives normal hatchback buyers food for thought. Although it's a similar small people carrier like the Vauxhall Meriva and Renault Modus - and comes with a versatile and family-friendly interior - it's significantly larger but manages to retain the look of a more conventional hatchback. In fact, it's spacious enough and such good value that canny Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra buyers should give it serious consideration too. That's because the Note is a good all-round package. In addition to its exceptionally useful interior, it's fun to drive, well equipped and cheap to run. It was facelifted in January 2009 with tweaked exterior styling and slightly more economical engines. 4 out of 5 Other Nissan reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 4 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £11,300 - £15,300 View all new prices Used price range: £2,894 - £12,019 View all used prices See 41 new models for sale from £8,995 Get a Nissan Note (06 on) information pack Next steps Nissan Note cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
